Pulp & Paper


Ferguson Industrial has served the pulp and paper industry for more than 100 years.

Because of our commitment to the industry, our customers view our associates as experts in product application, process improvement, valve automation, and process specialties specific to the pulp and paper segment.

Through ongoing industry changes in process, technology, and governmental regulations, our customers need more than the traditional pick, pack, and ship of pipe, valves, and fittings (PVF). Ferguson Industrial works with procurement, engineering and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) customers to focus on total cost optimization (TCO), safety, and mill efficiency to ensure process improvements and reduce downtime.

Combined with our large geographical footprint and network of distribution centers, we have built long-term customer and manufacturer relationships through the technical expertise of our sales force, QA program, and Approved Manufacturing List (AML).
